What is the fuel tank capacity of the JAC Heyue?
2 Answers
JAC Heyue has a fuel tank capacity of 55L, which is the officially announced data. The recommended fuel grade for JAC Heyue is 92 octane, with a fuel consumption of 6.6-7.6L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 723-833km. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. Generally, the fuel level is observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are about 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated volume. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space is designed to allow for fuel expansion when the temperature rises, preventing overflow from the tank. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.
I've been driving the JAC Heyue for several years with a 45-liter fuel tank. Every time I fill up with 92-octane gasoline, it can run over 500 kilometers. For urban commuting, I only need to refuel once a week, which is quite hassle-free. On highways, maintaining a speed around 80 km/h reduces fuel consumption to below 6 liters per 100 km, extending the range to over 550 kilometers. For routine maintenance, it's important to check the fuel cap seal during servicing to prevent dust from affecting fuel quality, and clean the filter screen every 10,000 kilometers to avoid clogging. Over long-term use, I find the tank capacity well-designed without much wasted space, offering high safety and minimal risk of fuel leakage even on bumpy roads. As a family car, the 45-liter tank makes travel more flexible and convenient.
